One of our teachers, and my student`s son both went on the Peace Boat. Our teacher taught English and Spanish on this famous ship, and the student studied English and other languages while traveling around the world!

The teacher said she really enjoyed it, though the work was not easy. You don`t just sit around and enjoy the views. You do need to work. Yet what an experience it must have been!

The student really enjoyed the trip and the study.

Have you ever been on the Peace Boat?

Tell us what it was like to travel the world and teach or study on the Peace Boat. Share it!

Your story will appear on a Web page exactly the way you enter it here. You can wrap a word in square brackets to make it appear bold. For example [my story] would show as my story on the Web page containing your story.

TIP: Since most people scan Web pages, include your best thoughts in your first paragraph.

This site describes Iraq from the perspective of a civilian serving with the US military during the Iraqi war on the bases. I tell you what to expect when you come to Iraq, how to communicate with your loved ones, how they can get packages to you, and about food, weather, geography, and insects.

Your accommodation and food provided....the only catch. You must volunteer to teach English.

Seems like a fair trade to me, and then some!

I have been wanting to go on this very famous boat for a number of years now. But we have three young children so I really can`t be away for so long. But perhaps you can.

Attending a lecture on the about this peaceful ship at Tokai University,I thought what an experience it would be to sail the sea, meet people from all over the world, while teaching English....I dream.

A former employee of mine said the work was hard--harder than at my school,

but she enjoyed the trip and felt it was well worth it.

The organization is a Japan-based international non-governmental and non-profit organization that works to promote peace, human rights, equal and sustainable development and respect for the environment.

The organization seeks to create awareness and action based on effecting positive social and political change in the world.

They pursue this through the organization of global educational programmes, responsible travel, cooperative projects and advocacy activities.

These activities are carried out on a partnership basis with other civil society organizations and communities in Japan, Northeast Asia, and around the world.

Most of the time, the organization carries out its main activities through a chartered passenger ship that travels the world on peace voyages. The ship creates a neutral, mobile space and enables people to engage across borders in dialogue and mutual cooperation at sea, and in the ports that we visit. Activities based on Japan and Northeast Asia are carried out from our eight Peace Centers in Japan.

I recommend being a volunteer teacher on this ship. You will work hard but I think most people would enjoy the experience of teaching a language and traveling around the world with a great group of people. I know I would love to do this one day!

You are not paid, but get your room and board for free in exchange for teaching a language. But the best things in life are free right?!

The Peace Boat is always looking for volunteer teachers. Visit the good ship`s
homepage.
a Japanese NGO is looking for dynamic, experienced English and Spanish teachers to take part in a global peace voyage. Positions are volunteer, but room and board are covered. Peace Boat has
voyages three times per year. Some are around the world, and some are shorter trips in Asia.
